Dell :: No Network Recognition XPS 8300
Jan 18, 2013
I'm attempting to setup this computer (Dell XPS 8300) for the first time. When I try to connect to my wireless router, it's as if the network card doesn't recognize ANY networks. (Usually, even my neighbors' signals bleed over.) I'm not too computer savvy, but I've never experience this before. Usually, I fire up a new computer and it asks for my router key. This one doesn't even act like it can find a signal. I have a Broadcam NetLink Gigabit Ethernet card installed. When I check my hardware, it says that "this device is working properly."

Since 2 months I have the following problem: the first time each day I power on my computer I cannot get internet access. I cannot reach the networkcenter to check if anything is wrong. Sometimes after a long wait (10 minutes) I get the alert: network adapter is not available. The only option is to power down the computer and to power on again. Usually then I have internetacces. I have run all kinds of diagnostics on the dell site but when internet acces is working nothing seems to be wrong. I have a XPS dimension 8300 with a Broadcom Netlink Gigabit Ethernet adapter

I have a Dell XPS 8300 desktop and have been having issues with the modem connecting to the wireless network just fine but, I'm not able to access the internet. This has only occurred over the last 24 hours and is frustrating. I've read some other recent posts and have gone back and done the System Restore to before the installation of Windows Updates a day or so ago and that has worked twice today. But I'm not a PC expert and I would like to know how I could resolve this issue permanently without having to undo the updates with System Restore every time I power up and log in. How do I figure out what setting is being undone to disconnect the internet connection from my XPS 8300?

I checked the NIC Properties and the Speed & Duplex only shows the following 10 half, 10 full, 100 half, 100 full and auto. There is no 1000 half and 1000 full. My old gigabit NIC on my old computer shows all, 10s, 100s, and 1000s and the auto. They tried to fix it and even changed the driver but it still is not showing the 1000s. Their option was to change the motherboard with a refurbished one and my computer was just bought just 2 months ago. The original computer had 12GB memory, I7, AMD graphics card, 460 PSU. no blue-ray, no usb 3. The new setup is 16GB memory, I7, Nvidia GeForce GT 550 Ti, Usb 3, Blue-ray, I think 800 PSU.I am running Win 7 Home Premium 64. I have a Gigabit connection from my internet service so I wanted the NIC to go that fast too. The specs shows the computer to have a Gigabit NIC but the properties is not showing the 1000s.

I've got a Dimension 8300 which I loaded Windows Server 2003. I've looked high and low for a compatible network driver with no luck.
I've attempted to install WinXP drivers as I've read that it worked for others in the past... no luck for me though. I've also tried a number of different chipset drivers without any luck.

Which wireless card would you recommend for my Dell XPS 8300 desktop? It has an Intel iCore 7 CPU with 16 GB ram running on Windows 7. There are three empty PCI Express x1 slots. The router is an old Linksys Wireless Broadbank Router, 2.4 GHz, 802.11g, purchased back in 2005.

I just bought a XPS 8300, I use Google Chrome for a browser, cable modem internet connection, and quite often, web pages will not load quickly, or will take a couple of reloads to load properly. Any advice on how to cure this annoying trend of mine?

Here's my internet connection: modem to router (via ethernet), router to desktop (via ethernet). I should have a LAN connection. However, my desktop is on a wireless connection. Diving in further, I notice I do not even have a LAN connection available on the "Change Adapter Settings" screen (see attached photo).
How can I get my LAN connection back? I have tried to download different drivers, but to no avail.
If it matters, I have a Dell XPS 8300 desktop.

I just purchased a XPS 8300, and I need to run both the Windows 7 32 bit and 64 bit operating systems due to some legacy software I have that won't install (or run) on the 64 bit Window 7.when I boot to the 32 bit Windows 7 my ethernet drivers are not loaded. Does the ethernet adapter provided supports a 32 bit OS and if so, how I might find and download the drivers for the ethernet adapter?

Ive recently bought a Dell XPS 8300 desktop PC without a wireless card.
I have purchased a Dell 1520 wireless mini PCI-E card and installed it but it is not showing in the device manager at all.
The system is running Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit, so i have downloaded the relevant driver for the wireless card from the Dell website but when i try to install the driver i get an error message along the lines of "No compatible hardware found. The software you are attempting to install is not supported on this system."
It clearly states that this driver is compatible with Windows 7 64 bit.
Ive tried refreshing the hardware list in device manager and searching for new hardware and ive cleaned the connector on the wireless card and reinstalled but it still isnt being recognised.

Got an XPS 8300 with a 1501 Wireless-N WLAN half-mini card. I'm using a Linksys WRT160n router which can handle up to Draft 802.11n.
When wired directly to router I'm getting ~21-25Mbps. When I go wireless, it's pitiful - down to ~2-4Mbps. We just got a new laptop in the house (a chromebook actually) and the wireless throughput on that is equal to my wired throughput (21-25Mbps).
I'm using WEP security on the router.
What settings to check/modify to get my connection speed up? Everything I checked seems to be OK and the driver version is up-to-date.

My Dell XPS 8300 has been connecting to the internet without a problem for months until this morning. This morning the computer will not connect either through the LAN or wifi adapter. The network tray icon has the yellow triangle and says "no internet access."
I have reset both the computer and router multiple times and I have also unplugged them in between. Other computers in the house connect to the router without a problem wirelessly. This leads me to believe there is something wrong with the networking/system software configuration. The computer can't ping the router. It may be the software/system config was corrupted in the last 24 hours and I may need to reinstall the operating system which I would rather not do.
It doesn't appear that any unusual software updates were made in the last 24 hours beyond Adobe Acrobat and Flash. There have been no system updates that I could identify within the last month or so.

Want to use WOL on 8300 with Broadcom Netlink card. Everything seems to be configured correctly: bios, network card, port forwarding etc. In fact I can wake up the 8300 over the internet following a complete shut down, but only if I do it within 3 secs or so, then it fires up OK. If I wait a little longer it will not respond to the Magic packet. I notice something strange which I suspect may be related: when I restart the PC, in the power management of the Broadcom card the box is checked that allows te computer to turn off the Broadcom card to save power, while I am sure that I unchecked it before shutdown. I suspect this setting is somehow overwritten by Windows. mentioned all BIOS setting are to enable WOL. As if Windows is ensuring that the Broadcom card is powered down so it cannot receive the Magic packet to initiate a startup.

I have a Dell XPS 8300 desktop. The desktop recently got a virus which caused me to completely reformat the computer. I thought the PC came with a drivers CD but either it did not or I cannot find one. Now that I installed a fresh copy of Windows 7 it will not connect to the internet. I have tried downloading all network drivers, bios drivers and making sure BIOS is enabled but still I am unable to connect to the internet.
What can I do to fix this problem or is there any place that I can purchase the actual drivers CD for my PC so that this does not happen again? I have gone to the drivers and downloads page, put my tag number in and literally downloaded every single driver listed and still it is giving me the "no connection detected" error.

I just bought an XPS 8300 brand new.After woeking OK a few days, now it connects to the Broadcom Netlink Communication card only after rebooting 3-4 times at cold-start.
All the other home computers are connecting from the first shot. (two laptops and another desktop. They much slower computers.At the begining I have re-installed the driver (from DVD and downloaded), but not this is the problem.
The computer has to get a bit warm.When it does not connect, the Dell Test tool DOES NOT SEE (does not appear in the test list) the Broadcom NetLink Gigabite Ethernet card.

Under Devices, I find that my Apple laptop (WIFI connection) and our Dell Desktop (LAN) connection are considered the same device. The operating system the EA3500 shows for this device is the apple IOS system both connections and address numbers appear in this device. This makes it impossible to set up separate parental control settings on each computer. What could I do to get the EA3500 to recognize these as separate devices? I have already tried forcing the WIFI network address of the Apple to another address. All that happened was the device address updated in on the EA3500 device list, but the LAN and WIFI addresses remained together still under the same device name and MAC OS on the device list.
I have the latest firmware loaded on my EA3500. This was not an issue previously when I ran the old firmware. Below is a what I see in the device listing showing the LAN address for the Dell and WIFI address for the Apple all on the same screen. When I turn one device off, the respective entry goes away. Only when both computers are off does the single device entry on the EA3500 reflect being offline.

This started this a.m. Every other computer can connect issue free. I have even removed all security and have it set as an "Open" network to see if this will resolve and still the Dell is unable to connect. If I click on connect, it attempts to then I get the Troubleshooter message. This PC is running Win 7. Let me know what further information is needed.

My Dell laptop cannot see any of my printers on my network. I recently installed a new Linksys 160N Router and created a new network on my desktop which runs Windows 7. These are the three computers I have:
HP Desktop - Windows 7
Dell Inspirion 600m Laptop - Windows XP
Compaq Desktop - Windows NT
Prior to installing the new router, all computers could see each other on the network.

My computer started shutting off and not turning on. I had installed new parts a while ago and so I switched the new parts with the old ones (power supply and Graphics card) and it worked again. But i couldnt connect to the internet and i did a diagnoses and it said adapter not found or correctly installed or something like that. I couldnt find the adapter either. I was going to download the network adapter driver from the dell website on to a thumb drive and install in onto my desktop but i do not know which one to download.

I've had my Studio 14 for a few days now and it's working pretty well. I have a NetGear RangeMax 3700 dual band router. The laptop sees my 'g' network but does not see the 'n' network. I see through searching that some other people are having the same problem. I know it has something to do with this laptop as my wife's Latitude right over there on the kitchen table sees both just fine.

I recently purchased a Dell XPS 14 Ultrabook and am at the stage where I want to connect to a Wifi Network to get internet. The Network comes up as full strength in the list, yet when I try to connect to it, I am simply told that the computer is taking longer than usual to connect to the network and the connection fails. The problem is not with the wireless router as it functions fine with other devices.

Mid-day Thursday one of the laptops in my office suddenly was unable to identify the wireless network.
I have had this problem in the past with the other Dell laptop. Both are Windows 7. Tried uninstalling the adapter 4 times now. Changed SSIDs on my network. Added a SSID. Nothing works.
I am able to identify and get online if I put the IP address and DNS server in. Nothing I do lets it use DHCP.

I have a Dell Inpsiron with Windows XP. It will connect to many wireless networks, just not to mine, which of course is my kind of luck. It detects my network but when I enter my key and try to connect it says it's unable to connect. I have picked through a few other forums and saw that I should check my Device Manager. Now I did, but I have no idea what I gained with knowing that my Network Adapters are:
-Dell Wireless 1370 WLAN Mini-PCI Card
-Intel(R) Pro/100 VE Network Connection
And I'm sure my "radio button" is on, because I can connect to other wireless networks right now, just not mine.
